His record is given herein as found in pension claim, S.O. 13392 based upon his service in the War of 1812.

Sir,
In reply to your letter of the set forth in the case of Mrs. Abigail Folliard widow of John Folliard dec d . I have to state that it is shown from her husband's declaration made in 1820 that he was at that time, and had been for nine years previous thereto, a single man. No widow who was married after 1794 is entitled to a pension on account of the military service of her husband during the revolutionary war. A pension cannot consequently be allowed Mrs. Folliard.
